Update from Phoenixsurf!
1:16 a.m., EST - Phoenix Surf admin Gabriel Frankewich sent out an e-mail to PS membership about 5 hours ago discussing several issues, most notable of which is the transition of PS from auto to manual surf. Here is the full text:Legal CounselOver the past week we have been compiling data and running over compliance options with our attorneys. Fortunately, appropriate legal counsel had been obtained prior to the launch of PS, making our task much easier. In addition, Jonathan Mikula has returned from his trip to Austin and has brought back important information regarding necessary additions to our program. Over the next two weeks, you will see us add many important enhancements to PS to ensure the longevity of the program and the long-term success of our membership base.InfrastructureOur infrastructure and highly specialized staff has once again proven its value. Between our support staff, legal staff, programming staff, consulting staff, and management team we have conquered numerous scripting errors, various compliance issues, answered thousands of support tickets, and sustained our high level of growth. We did not purchase a script for $300, hire our next door neighbor as our sole staff member, and hope for the best. Once again, business is all about infrastructure and foundations and we have established both.Manual surfEffective as of March 4 at 12:00 am, Phoenixsurf will officially be a manual surf program. We are doing this for two main reasons:1. To increase the value of our advertising. PS is a traffic exchange program and we are driven by advertising revenue. If advertisers know that viewers MUST watch their ads, we can sell advertising space at a premium. It is a well known fact that many autosurfers never really watched the ads they were being paid to view. We will help our members to re-establish the true meaning of a traffic exchange program. The increased advertising revenue will help to ensure the longevity of our program.2. The SEC appears to be extremely concerned that people were being paid to click a button and walk away. By making PS manual surf, we will remove this objection.It is also important to note that the surfbar will still be run on a 15 second rotation timer. This means members will not necessarily have to spend more time providing their service to PS, but every ad will in fact be viewed. When the timer hits 0, simply click on Next Site to view the next site in the PS rotation. Once you view 15, you will be paid like normal. Phoenix Surf's consistent and timely communication is a definite plus, as is their willingness to anticipate and proactively deal with or make arrange for future handling of problems that may arise.For those who are members of PS and are unfamiliar with manual surfing, be certain to examine the above notes on the changes at PS.
